New students in the School of Allied Health Professions show off their “I’m an Allied Healther” T-shirts.<\/p><\/div>\n

You may have noticed the red, “I’m an Allied Healther” T-shirts around campus recently. The shirts marked the start of a new school year for 164 students in the School of Allied Health Professions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

During the school’s recent orientation, students engaged in program specific activities and then gathered for a noontime luncheon on quality expectations with Glenn Fosdick, president and CEO of UNMC’s hospital partner, The Nebraska Medical Center.<\/p>\n

“Quality in health care will not go away,” Fosdick said.<\/p>\n

The Nebraska Medical Center, he said, fosters a culture focused on quality at all levels of the organization.<\/p>\n

To meet its goals, hospital leaders have adopted such programs as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Six Sigma, a statistics-driven approach to quality control;<\/li>\n
  • Crew Resource Management, team management concepts adopted from the airline industry;<\/li>\n
  • A new barcode bedside monitoring system to reduce medication errors; and<\/li>\n
  • A checklist to reduce hospital infection rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Fosdick challenged each allied health student to become a leader in best practices and systems that improve quality.<\/p>\n

    Fosdick’s message dovetails with the SAHP’s goals, said Kyle Meyer, Ph.D., associate dean of the SAHP.<\/p>\n

    “Our educational programs will provide you with the highest quality education and promote quality and safety,” Dr. Meyer said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
